xforms:help and xforms:hint

Richard Braman
Message
can someone give me some help or hints about styling these tags in OPS.
 
take a look at
http://24.75.221.234:8080/taxcode/1040ez (which is coming along , thanks to contributions already recieved from Erik(Thanks to Alex, Daniel, and Ryan)
 
I know OPS styles these tags with .xofmr-help whihc uses the little "?" By default, it appear where it needs to, because i use absolute positions and my div:width was too small.  I tried bumping up the width of my div tags , whihc worked, but I am still thinking of other ideas
 
My idea is to make this a mouseover on the control, a right click, a keyboard shortcut, or something else other than the little ?,  I would be alright with ? if I could control its position. I also noticed, the pop up appears in different spots on the page, whihc sometimes are to hihg depending on how much text is in the help, whihc can be pretty lengthy with IRS instructions.
 
I found this class in xforms.css
 
.xforms-help {
    background-image: url(../../images/help.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: top left;
    display: -moz-inline-box;
    display: inline-block;
    white-space: nowrap;
    padding-left: 20px;
    width: 16px;
    height: 19px;
    overflow: hidden;
    font-size: 10px;
    color: black;
    line-height: 10px;
    margin-left: .2em;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Richard,

You are saying that it would be OK if you could control the "?" icon
position. Have you tried doing this by modifying the xforms-help
class? If that does not work, can tell us what you can't do in CSS.
Maybe some CSS guru here can help you on this.
